Both my readings for this week went really well. It gave me ideas for my storybook project this next week. My best writing, and my only writing, was only in this class. It probably was not the best thing I have ever written I did it in kind of a rush. I have seen some interesting writing from other people this week. I commented on a lot of blogs this week where the author wrote stories from a person’s perspective that was rarely heard in the original story. For example, two people wrote from Yashoda’s point of view. One wrote about her experience having her child replaced with another and the other person wrote about her experience raising Krishna. My other classes are going well. Except for my studio class.

So we will see how well I can juggle my studio class work and class work for other classes. I made a schedule for this month for studio. I ...

Teaching Students to Embrace Mistakes: Something that was confirmed in the article was that in order to help students fix their mistakes a teacher must be specific about their errors. I think something new I learned was that a teacher should make their students view their mistakes as helpful. I am curious to explore how I can my view my mistakes as helpful. It is something I can do more online research about and then try to incorporate into my daily school life. Mistakes Meme

I have had the Canvas app on my iPhone for a long time. It was easy to install an there weren't any problems with it in that. I mostly use it to look at my grades and to look at any announcements made my teachers. I also use it to look up due dates, and any new assignments that teachers put up.
